The beginning of disease is a slight debili-
ty or disorder of some of the vital organs,
the stomach the liver or the bowels usu-
ally. There are dyspeptic symptoms, the
liver is troublesome, the skin grows tawney
and unhealthy looking, there are pains in
the right side or through the right shoulder
blade. The climax is often an utter pros
tration of the physical energies, perhaps
fatal issue. But if the difficulty is met in
time with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is always effective as remedy, and
it should be resorted TO at an early stage,
there viii he no reason TO apprehend those
injurious subsequent effects upon the sys-
tenn often entailed by entirely cured dis
eases. Far better is il, also, TO employ this
safe remedial agent in fever and ague, and
other malarial complaints, than quinine
and other potent drugs, which, even when
they do prove effectual for time, ruin the
stomach and impair the general health.

The Tere del Fuego Indians, the

always on the lookout for passing
vessels and come out in canoes to beg
and to trade skins for tobacco. The
Fuegians or ''Canoe Indians" as they
are commonly called to distinguish
them from the Patagonians, who dis
like the water, and perfer to navigate
on horse back, have no settled habita-
ton. They are simple people, with
n dirty and bloated appearance, and
faces that would scare II mule. They
have broad features, low forcEeads
(Over which the hair hangs in tangled
lumps), high check bones, flat noses,
enormous chins, and jaws and mouths
like n crocodile, with teeth that add to
their responsiveness. Their skin is said
to be OF II copper color. They con-
slider it unhealthful to bathe. They
are short in stature, round.shouldered,
